SPECIAL NOTES
We recommend that you do not pull the
yarn from the centre of the ball - unwind
it from the outside and it will be easier to
work with. To join this yarn, just overlap
the two yarns by about 10 cms/4 ins and
knit them both for 2 to 3 sts.
Casting on: Unfold the tape and find the
open edge of the yarn (not the sequin/
selvedge edge). You will see eyelets in the
tape. You will be using the eyelets along the
open edge to knit into and as your knitting
yarn.
To cast on, you simply insert the needle
into an eyelet approx 3 cms/1 in from the
end of your yarn to create the first stitch.
To create the next stitch, insert the needle
front to back into the next eyelet shown on
the graph, skipping one eyelet in between.
Repeat this process to cast on each stitch.
Knitting: Insert your right needle into the
next stitch as if to knit. Unfold the tape and
find the open edge. Use the second eyelet
along the open edge as your knitting yarn
and complete your stitch.
Casting off: Knit two sts in the above
manner. Lift the first stitch over the second
and off the needle. Work in this way across
the sts until one stitch remains. Using a
yarn needle thread part of the tape though
the last stitch and tighten to cast/bind off.
